Peace of Mind

We aim to provide our clients with the highest standards in all aspects of our service. We ensure that we are compliant with all aspects of governing legislation and provide a service which exceeds all mandatory regulations.

Our contract managers and sales team will always encourage a full site survey prior to submitting a price, ensuring all aspects of a contract are considered and therefore ensuring budgets are met.

Environmentally Friendly

We want to provide you with environmentally friendly surfacing solutions. Our base surfaces are produced from recycled rubber from worn tyres. This chipped rubber provides the ideal base for a shock-absorbing surface for play or sport and also presents an ideal use for a material which presents a serious environmental impact.

By using this recycled product we are limiting the amount of virgin resources used in the process and also alleviating the problem of mounting rubber tyre waste.

Testimonials

Judy White – Rosehill Nursery, SurreyI should like to thank Abacus for an excellent job on the reconstruction of our nursery outside play area. All the men worked very hard and were helpful and polite. The children are delighted with the surface, especially the path running around the outside. I should also like to say that it was your helpful attitude at the beginning that made me put you down as my preferred contractor. Your quote was also the least expensive, but this did not influence my decision to use you. I would highly recommend your business.

Alex Mitton – Rascals Day Nursery, UlverstonRascals would like to thank Abacus for supplying a safe, practical and very colourful play area for our Babies and Tots.
All Rascals needs were taken into consideration at the planning stage which enabled the project to be completed at the weekend with the minimum of disruption. Staff, parents and children love it.

Peter Cross – Woodsetton School, DudleyDelighted to come into school this morning to find the job completed and the playgrounds ready to use. The wetpour looks great & I’m looking forward to going out at playtime with the children! I would be happy to recommend your services and let anyone come & have a look or talk to me.
